The Two Nude Lipsticks I've Been Obsessed With

I love finding a good nude lipstick, its just perfect for those days where I've went with a dramatic eye or even for days where I didn't go to crazy with makeup and just went for a natural look. You just can't go wrong with a classic nude lip. Throughout the month of June I only wore 2 different lipsticks and that was it. Ofcourse they were both nude shades so I just had to share them both with you.

Firstly, the blogger favourite right now - Sleek Matte Me Lipcreams. When these were first released I didn't really jump on the bandwagon but after hearing so many things I picked up 'Birthday Suit' to try it out and see what the hype was all about. I'm so in love with the formula of this, it applies wet but dries to a matte (obviously!) but it doesn't feel drying on the lips at all. It wears really well but you do have to top it up after eating as it will come off but that doesn't bother me at all. For only €6.99 each I want to buy the whole collection. I've picked up another 2 shades after this but have yet to start wearing them because I love this one so much.

Last month I decided to pick up a No7 Lipstick to give it a try and picked up the shade "Caramel Silk" which is such a gorgeous colour. I had previously tried No7 lipsticks while in work and found some of them especially the matte ones would just hurt my lips so this was my first time trying one from the moisture drench range and I love it! It feels so moisturising on the lips and doesn't dry them out at all no matter how long you wear it. The staying power is decent but again you will have to re-apply it after eating and top it up every few hours to keep it looking fresh! The No7 lipsticks are a little more on the pricey side to Sleek and will set you back €14.00 but Boots often give out €4 off vouchers for the brand.

Sleek's Birthday Suit is a slightly darker nude than No7's but I honestly cannot choose a favourite between the two. Also it really helps that they both match my nails really well.

Have you tried either of these products? Whats your favourite nude lip?

Firstly, I adore the shade on your nails, it's so gorgeous and so fitting for your blog post! I am yet to pick up the Sleek liquid matte creams as so far I've been so disappointing by all my recent drugstore liquid lipsticks to be honest, however your post has given me faith and will give these a swatch when I next go in! xx

Love the look of Caramel Silk! I actually have Sleek Birthday Suit but found it drying on me :( however I recently tried one of their new additions to the range and the formula seems to have totally changed, so maybe I need to repurchase it!
